Dauphin Kings:

The Dauphin star also had 76 points in 39 games two seasons ago with the Parkland U15 Rangers.
Following Hayden, Dauphin protected Quinten Fisk. He played in all 44 games this past season with the U18 Rangers, recording nine goals and eight assists.
Two seasons ago with the U15 team, Fisk had 50 points in 39 games.
Swan Valley Stampeders:
With their first protection, the Stampeders selected hometown star Trace Langan.
Langan, who dominated in his last season with the U15 Rangers two years ago, collected 16 points in 30 games this past season with Prairie Hockey Academy.
Swan Valley then protected Alex Campbell, who is coming off a great year with the U18 Rangers. He had 10 points and missed just one game this past season.
The league will now host its Annual General Meeting this weekend which includes the MJHL Draft on Sunday morning.
